Mr. Speaker, I do not respect the idea of standing in the way of Canadian energy workers and giving our oil to the Americans at a discount. What we would do is get the government out of the way and get the project built. The Prime Minister has the unique constitutional opportunity to do that. Subsection 92.10 of the BNA Act makes it exclusively a federal decision.
This Prime Minister is hiding under his desk rather than answering the question. Eight months after promising that he would take unprecedented action with unimaginable speed, he has done nothing. Why does he not get out of the way?
